Abstract

A garden and/or forestry system has a hand-held gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus, and an assistance device, which is formed separately from the gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus and which is designed to support a user in operation of the gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus. The assistance device has a user interface, by which the assistance device is controllable by user inputs. The hand-held gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus has a user-actuable operator control element for user inputs to the user interface.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A gardening and/or forestry apparatus system, comprising:
 a hand-held gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus having a handle and a detection device, the detection device having a camera and/or an inertial measurement unit and being designed to detect a property of the gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus and/or a property of an object to be processed by the gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus; 
 an assistance device, which is formed separately from the gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus and which is designed to support a user in operation of the gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus, wherein 
 the assistance device has a user interface, by which the assistance device is controllable by user inputs, 
 the hand-held gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus further has a user-actuable operator control element for user inputs to the user interface, wherein the user-actuable operator control element is arranged in a region of the handle, 
 the detection device is controllable by the user-actuable operator control element, and 
 the assistance device is designed to support the user depending on the detected property. 
 
     
     
       2. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the hand-held gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus is a saw, a pole-mounted pruner, a brush cutter, a hedge trimmer, a hedge cutter, a blower, a leaf blower, or an angle grinder. 
 
     
     
       3. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the detection device further has a spirit level, a compass, a local position determination apparatus, a satellite position determination apparatus, a sound transducer, a range finder, a tachometer, a thermometer, and/or an apparatus operating sensor. 
     
     
       4. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an output device, which is designed to output assistance information to the user. 
 
     
     
       5. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein
 the output device has a display, a sound generator, and/or a vibration device. 
 
     
     
       6. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a protective helmet, face and/or hearing protection, safety glasses, a protective glove, a smart watch, a bracelet, an armband, and/or a smartphone, on which the detection device and/or the output device are arranged. 
 
     
     
       7. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the user-actuable operator control element has a rotary button, a push button and/or a touchpad. 
 
     
     
       8. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the user interface and the user-actuable operator control element are designed to interact wirelessly with one another. 
 
     
     
       9. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the assistance device has various assistance functions to support the user in the operation of the gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus, and/or the gardening and/or forestry apparatus system has various assistance devices having different assistance functions to support the user in the operation of the gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus, and 
 wherein the user-actuable operator control element is designed to select one of the assistance functions, and/or wherein the gardening and/or forestry processing apparatus has various user-actuable operator control elements designed to select one of the assistance functions. 
 
     
     
       10. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein
 the various assistance functions have an apparatus function, an object function, a detection function, an operating function, a documentation function, an evaluation function, an accounting function, a recording function, an output function, an information function, a transmission function, a user function, and/or an auxiliary function. 
 
     
     
       11. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein,
 the assistance information has apparatus information, object information, detection information, operating information, documentation information, evaluation information, accounting information, recording information, output information, transmission information, user information, and/or auxiliary information. 
 
     
     
       12. The gardening and/or forestry apparatus system as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein,
 the assistance information has apparatus information, object information, detection information, operating information, documentation information, evaluation information, accounting information, recording information, output information, transmission information, user information, and/or auxiliary information.
